38 THE FIG MOTH. 
SUMMARY. 
To summarize the measures for the eradication of the fig moth 
in imported figs we may reduce them to the following methods of 
prevention and destruction: 
(1) Prompt disposal or destruction of the useless June fig crop. 
(2) Covering the figs at night while on the " serghi." 
(3) Closely screening the fig u depots " in the interior. 
(4) Prompt delivery of the figs to the " khans " after gathering. 
(5) Destruction of the "worms" in the "khans" by "steriliza- 
tion," i. e., by hot water, dry heat, or steam. 
(6) Fumigation by means of carbon bisulphid in special fumiga- 
tion structures, made as nearly gas-tight as possible. 
(7) Fumigation by means of hydrocj'anic-acid gas, 
(8) Construction of the "khans" in the future so that they can 
be made gas-tight for the purpose of fumigating. 
(9) Enactment of special regulations or legislation to secure the 
enforcement of the suggestions made. 
(10) Clean methods of handling and storing at all times and 
in all places.
